River bank sheetpiling panel, includes areas of reduced thickness where panel can be folded or bent to follow course of bank

摘要

The panel (3', 3'') includes at least one vertical fold zone where the thickness of the panel material is chosen so that folding or bending of the panel is possible, allowing the panel to be bent to form two or more sections extending at angles to each other. The panel is secured to or between piles (1', 1'', 1''') to form the sheetpiling (14). An independent claim is also included for a method for making a tight-fitting plastic sleeve (2) for one of the piles, by clamping a two or multi-part centering ring around the pile, positioning a hollow tubular mold tool with an open top side in tight contact against the ring, and injecting molten plastic material into the mold in order to cast a sleeve around the pile.
